Currently, I'm using:

Prime
Cone of Cold
Deep Freeze
Ice Lance

Major
Evocation
Icy Veins
Ice Barrier

Minor
Slow Fall
Conjuring
Monkey (can be replaced by any other Minor glyph if you feel like doing so).

Prime
Glyph of Deep Freeze
Glyph of Ice Lance
**Glyph of Cone of Cold
**Glyph of Mage Armor

Major
Glyph of Ice Barrier
**Glyph of Polymorph
**Glyph of Frostbolt
**Glyph of Frostfire Bolt
**Glyph of Evocation
**Glyph of Icy Veins

Minor
Glyph of Conjuring
Glyph of Slow Fall
** Anything else, they are all bad

Note: ** is a decent glyph that you should consider based on preference, if it does not have this I consider it mandatory.

The italicized glyphs are what I am currently using.

Glyph of Deep Freeze is a PvE glyph on the beta and I guess in 4.0.3 also.

It's a pvp glyph now. 20% more frostbolt damage on DF'ed targets.

I know that, but it won't be in Cataclysm.

I'd toss mana shield on there too. I use it right now since it's about as situational as the rest. I'd say polymorph would be the top choice when arenas are up again. This is, of course, provided you have a dot class with you, which is just about everybody now, tbh.

I'd also go out on a limb and say mage armor glyph is useless for pvp too, since you literally can't drop below 90% mana with MA up unless you spam blizzard every GCD.

Yea I suppose Mana Shield wouldn't be awful, though 2 seconds off its timer seems fairly underwhelming against the other options for major.

I agree that mage armor seems fairly useless, but with the upcoming change to the Deep Freeze glyph I don't really see an alternative. At least this way you can absolutely guarentee your ability to spam blizzard for slow (talented) or to pop out stealthed classes, and never have to worry about mana shield (though I agree that it's basically already a non-issue).

Polymorph is still an extremely important glyph in pretty much every pvp scenario. In arenas it's basically mandatory, in a BG setting it is certainly mandatory, and even in a 1v1 or 1vX scenario it's quite useful if you're getting a fair bit of brain freeze procs.

Evo glyph is mandatory for all pvp specs

The evo glyph is being changed to a 40% heal instead of 60%, and even at 60% it was not mandatory. It's definitely useful, don't get me wrong. BG's and Duels it was extremely helpful, but I played 3 arena season's without it without a problem. That's why I said that they were based on personal preference.
